One of which is Persona 5 the Animation, an anime based off the latest video game in a series with a very dedicated fan base. Games in the series have gotten anime adaptations in the past, so fans were hoping the latest entry would get an adaptation as well.

Summing up Persona 5's introduction gracefully might be impossible and it's obvious that a project like this forces Masashi Ishihama to hold back on his idiosyncrasies, but he sure is making the best out of all the special moments. pic.twitter.com/E8i56uaDkA

it doesn't quite live up to the best UI design in gaming history, but I'm glad to see my boy Ishihama put some of his signature flair into the Persona 5 anime. It's all about the eyes pic.twitter.com/2g6Uz6lNA2
